Really?

"Obama has shown that he is a man of limited experience, questionable
convictions, deeply troubling associations (Jeremiah Wright, William
Ayers, Tony Rezko) and an alarming lack of self-definition -- do you
really know who he is and what he believes? "


Yeah, that jumped out at me, too, but hey, if Ken says he nailed it,
then he must have nailed it...and yeah, he nailed it...the only question
is if the US voter will care...

I admit, looks like your team is going to win this year, but I
wouldn't be happy about who you picked.


You may admit it, but it doesn't look to be accurate. Looking at some
complete numbers (Barr, Nader, etc.) and full poll results, currently
Obama leads by about 4% nationally and a fair number of states are
polling toss-ups. The debate last night is beginning to show up in
early data, and it looks better for McCain/Palin than Obama/Biden (but
both look to do OK). It's looks like Monday might have things back to
about even in the polls. And, no, I'm not suggesting that McCain is
going to win, either - it's just too close, nationally and state-level.
IAC, the polls are little more than trending data. About all that can
be said is that one of them is probably going to win...and a whole lot
more people are gonna lose...

HTH,
